I’ve bought some yaupon tea bags before. It was actually pretty good. I like black tea, and don’t like coffee though, so people expecting a coffee taste may not like it. It’s very comparable to black tea, IMO. I also have a yaupon bush in my yard, but never tried processing and ingesting it.
How does it taste?
I’ve actually never tried it, but, it’s described as pleasant. You have to roast the stems and leaves.
I grow it, but I’ve only drank it once. It’s not too different from Yerba Maté. Which is to say -it tastes like an herbal tea made of holly leaves.
Eugh, maté is an acquired taste that I can’t acquire
